Create laws to stop the discrimination of LGBTQ members in the workforce.

There are no federal laws protecting the rights of LGBTQ employees in the United States. There are no state-level protection for sexual orientation in 29 of the 50 US states. Even though there are laws in place in North Carolina to protect from discrimination against race, gender, religion, national origin, and biological sex; there are none to protect from discrimination against sexual orientation. Something must be done becuase employees can be fired for being LGBTQ. This leads to employees remaining quiet about their orientation because of the fear of losing their jobs.
